Indiana Military Museum plans to move

VINCENNES, Ind. (AP) - The Indiana Military Museum is moving from its site outside Vincennes in southwestern Indiana to a location a couple of blocks from the city's downtown.

The Vincennes Sun-Commercial reports ( http://bit.ly/IgIuBN ) that museum founder Jim Osborne hopes to have the museum ready for visitors sometime this summer.

The new site is at the former Blackford Glass Factory. Plans include construction of a multi-million dollar, 59,000-square-foot museum. Osborne said donations are still needed to complete the move and pay for upgrades to the facility like a new heating and air system as well as a near 2,200 foot long fence to surround and protect the property.
